2013-02-21Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin: "This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than one would like. The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" -- a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand. This has several advantages: 1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way early in the kernel startup). 2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large systems. 3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks. The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X. Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to __phys_addr()/__pa()." * 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (105 commits) x86, mm: Move reserving low memory later in initialization x86, doc: Clarify the use of asm("%edx") in uaccess.h x86, mm: Redesign get_user with a __builtin_choose_expr hack x86: Be consistent with data size in getuser.S x86, mm: Use a bitfield to mask nuisance get_user() warnings x86/kvm: Fix compile warning in kvm_register_steal_time() x86-32: Add support for 64bit get_user() x86-32, mm: Remove reference to alloc_remap() x86-32, mm: Remove reference to resume_map_numa_kva() x86-32, mm: Rip out x86_32 NUMA remapping code x86/numa: Use __pa_nodebug() instead x86: Don't panic if can not alloc buffer for swiotlb mm: Add alloc_bootmem_low_pages_nopanic() x86, 64bit, mm: hibernate use generic mapping_init x86, 64bit, mm: Mark data/bss/brk to nx x86: Merge early kernel reserve for 32bit and 64bit x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation x86, kdump: Remove crashkernel range find limit for 64bit memblock: Add memblock_mem_size() x86, boot: Not need to check setup_header version for setup_data ...

This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often lead to buggy / unnecessary code. There are a couple legitimate use cases in kernel. Hopefully, they can be converted and [delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely.

2013-02-17x86 idle: rename global pm_idle to static x86_idleLen Brown
(pm_idle)() is being removed from linux/pm.h because Linux does not have such a cross-architecture concept. x86 uses an idle function pointer in its architecture specific code as a backup to cpuidle.

2013-02-16perf/x86/amd: Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15hJacob Shin
On AMD family 15h processors, there are 4 new performance counters (in addition to 6 core performance counters) that can be used for counting northbridge events (i.e. DRAM accesses). Their bit fields are almost identical to the core performance counters. However, unlike the core performance counters, these MSRs are shared between multiple cores (that share the same northbridge). We will reuse the same code path as existing family 10h northbridge event constraints handler logic to enforce this sharing.

Move the reservation of low memory, except for the 4K which actually does belong to the BIOS, later in the initialization; in particular, after we have already reserved the trampoline. The current code locates the trampoline as high as possible, so by deferring the allocation we will still be able to reserve as much memory as is possible.

2013-02-12x86: Hyper-V: register clocksource only if its advertisedOlaf Hering
Enable hyperv_clocksource only if its advertised as a feature. XenServer 6 returns the signature which is checked in ms_hyperv_platform(), but it does not offer all features. Currently the clocksource is enabled unconditionally in ms_hyperv_init_platform(), and the result is a hanging guest. Hyper-V spec Bit 1 indicates the availability of Partition Reference Counter. Register the clocksource only if this bit is set. The guest in question prints this in dmesg: [ 0.000000] Hypervisor detected: Microsoft HyperV [ 0.000000] HyperV: features 0x70, hints 0x0 This bug can be reproduced easily be setting 'viridian=1' in a HVM domU .cfg file.

This patch adds support for the SGI UV3 hub to the common x2apic functions. The primary changes are to account for the similarities between UV2 and UV3 which are encompassed within the "UVX" nomenclature. One significant difference within UV3 is the handling of the MMIOH regions which are redirected to the target blade (with the device) in a different manner. It also now has two MMIOH regions for both small and large BARs. This aids in limiting the amount of physical address space removed from real memory that's used for I/O in the max config of 64TB.

2013-02-11x86/apic: Work around boot failure on HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server systemsStoney Wang
When a HP ProLiant DL980 G7 Server boots a regular kernel, there will be intermittent lost interrupts which could result in a hang or (in extreme cases) data loss. The reason is that this system only supports x2apic physical mode, while the kernel boots with a logical-cluster default setting. This bug can be worked around by specifying the "x2apic_phys" or "nox2apic" boot option, but we want to handle this system without requiring manual workarounds. The BIOS sets ACPI_FADT_APIC_PHYSICAL in FADT table. As all apicids are smaller than 255, BIOS need to pass the control to the OS with xapic mode, according to x2apic-spec, chapter 2.9. Current code handle x2apic when BIOS pass with xapic mode enabled: When user specifies x2apic_phys, or FADT indicates PHYSICAL: 1. During madt oem check, apic driver is set with xapic logical or xapic phys driver at first. 2. enable_IR_x2apic() will enable x2apic_mode. 3. if user specifies x2apic_phys on the boot line, x2apic_phys_probe() will install the correct x2apic phys driver and use x2apic phys mode. Otherwise it will skip the driver will let x2apic_cluster_probe to take over to install x2apic cluster driver (wrong one) even though FADT indicates PHYSICAL, because x2apic_phys_probe does not check FADT PHYSICAL. Add checking x2apic_fadt_phys in x2apic_phys_probe() to fix the problem.

2013-02-10x86 idle: remove 32-bit-only "no-hlt" parameter, hlt_works_ok flagLen Brown
Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt", and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets. If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll" is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so. Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places. First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes" would be printed if and only if the user booted the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code to set that flag. Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt" were on the cmdline. Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() -- all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset. The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend. Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations indicating that it would be removed in 2012. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org
2013-02-10x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline paramLen Brown
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and no longer use mwait_idle(). Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(), and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it. Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait" was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012. This removal was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt. After this change, kernels configured with (CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be enabled. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org

[ hpa: I modified the patch so that it does NOT change the calling conventions for the existing callsites, this also means that the code is completely unchanged for 64 bits. Instead, continue to use eax for address input/error output and use the ecx:edx register pair for the output. ] This is a partial refresh of a patch [1] by Jamie Lokier from 2004.

Now we are preparing to implement full dynticks capability on Linux for Real Time and HPC users who want full CPU isolation. This feature requires a cputime accounting that doesn't depend on the timer tick. To implement it, this new cputime infrastructure plugs into kernel/user/guest boundaries to take snapshots of cputime and flush these to the stats when needed. This performs pretty much like CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING except that context location and cputime snaphots are synchronized between write and read side such that the latter can safely retrieve the pending tickless cputime of a task and add it to its latest cputime snapshot to return the correct result to the user."
